Vadersblade Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Hey all, Just wondering how everyone attached their seed trays together. I was looking at the various build threads, but only saw 1 or 2 that mentioned how they did it. Just curious to see what methods everyone has used. Thanks!

FIVE Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Are Scooth's build thread or Mike's pack assembly two you found already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastic Fury Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I followed Scootch's build very closely when I built my pack and fastened my seed trays the same way he did with a little E-6000 and rivets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 cut the outer lip of one of the trays so it fits into the lip of the other tray.....i prefer pop rivets.....mainly because you can drill them out and change out components if needed. never know when some kid is going to try and jack your radio....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyone Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I use tiny "zip ties" 2 on each side. I hated having to drill out rivets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 This is how I did mine: That and using plastic belts (dont know how that are called for real), could that be the "zip ties"? Hope it helps. OOOHHH!!! and for the blue one, I just used a lot of electricians tape all around the boxes. hehehe. Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadersblade Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Thanks for the tips! I used Scootch's build thread mostly and have seen Mike's. I don't have a riveter, and would prefer something that would be A) easy to break down and reassemble for shipping and B)not really show any screws on the outside. LOL, the first awesome pack I built was all zip ties and screws. While not at all accurate, the whole thing broke down inside a 15 qt Sterilite for shipping. With the frame alone on this one I am SOL on that I think. So I guess getting the trays together as invisible as I can would be the best. I like the hinged idea, how does the mount for that look when the pack is closed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Well, It do shows a bit the screw heads... but painted black I guess its not that bad. That could be corrected if cut down... I mean, having the head on one side and the nut on the other, and then painting it black. Not very accurate but you cant really tell that much, and it is very useful for storing stuff on cons and troops. Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
